"Smugglers Den"
Ship: USS Ranger
Class: Constitution


screenshot On this mission you must head to the Lambda Trionguli system and escort the smuggler Marcai back to base. Marcai is in possession of information so valuable that the Federation is willing to overlook his notorious past, so you'd better get him back safely.

Warp to Lambda Trianguli: When you first hail Marcai he'll ask you to come closer. As you do, a Romulan light cruiser will start an attack run on Marcai. Protect Marcai and destroy the Romulan. Just as you're about to finish off the Romulan, he'll release a self-destruct device. Hail Marcia and he'll say he's ready to go - the location will be set automatically by your navigator. Warp to that location.

Escort Marcai to Starbase: When you stop you will find that Marcai has talked you into stopping at the Draconis system before getting the Starbase. Right in front of you will be some asteroids. After Marcai arrives two Venturi ships will come out of hiding from the asteroids and attack you. Destroy the Venturi ships.

After you destroy the Venturi you can hail Marcai and discover that he no longer wants to go with you. Change your phasers to disabling power and target his impulse engines. Fire away until he is disabled, then use your tractor beam and warp to Starbase. One word of warning: Be sure not to swing around and ram the Marcai's ship into an asteroid. Instead, ease slowly out of the asteroid field until you're clear, then go to warp.
